What kind of coach is this?
My daughter is cheering this year for the towns cheer association. We just moved here last spring, and thought this would be great for her. We paid a lot of money to get started. Her coach canceled a practice in the beginning because she forgot her daughter had a sleepover, and did not want to have the practice without her. She has only shown up on time to 2 practices, the rest she is around 10 minutes late. The practices are supposed to last an hour, she ends them after 45 mins. She said that on the week nights if there are games, and they go over an hour, she is not staying.She usually just sits her but down during practice, and just direct the girls with what to do. Today was the final straw for me. She called and canceled practice, because she didnt really have anything new to teach them, and told up we will just see her at the game on Sat. I complained to the head of the cheer association. Was I in the right to do that you think?
cksunshine,
I would try to take the emotion out of it and only present the facts when reporting this to the head of the cheer association. It sounds like you have a solid foundation for a complaint. If you have specific dates, times, and places that would further solidify your arguments.
However, I think it would have been more effective if you would have brought concerns directly to the coach in the early stages of your concerns.
I wish your daughter well with her endeavors.
I hope this answers your question.
Enjoy!

Web Coach Tip: 10 Ways To Grab Your Prospects Attention Just by Using Your Photo
I’ve noticed that slowly more and more professionals are finally getting it! They realize being the most extraordinary expert, or specialist in their field isn’t enough to bring on new business. People are more willing to buy your product or service if they LIKE you.
How can a professional become more likeable on their website?
One way is by marketing with their pictures. Be relaxed, approachable, “let your hair down” and show your human side. Some of these ideas may really be off the wall, but the more creative you are, the better.
Here’s some examples: -One pro sent a postcard of himself riding a camel on his vacation. -Another posts “after-hours” pictures from her speaking events on her blog. -One successful pro uses business props like her laptop, headset and cell phone while appearing to multi-task with her hair standing straight up on end.
Here are some ideas you might try:
1. Have someone photograph you being caught “in action” doing normal things everyone else does. Like when you’re dressed up for church or weeding the garden. Be seen doing something your proud of like waxing your old car, bowling, fishing, cooking or knitting.
2. Color your hair an off beat color. Red, pink, blue, purple, green, etc. You could even make it match your web site’s colors. (having someone “photoshop” your picture can add color and not leave you with semi-permanent results!)
3. Draw a line on your picture. Grab a sharpie and draw a black eye or mustache on it before you scan and upload it to your web site. It’s ok to show your silly side!
4. Put on goofy glasses. You could put on spring like glasses, oversized colorful glasses, spinning glasses, or even black frames with masking tape across the bridge.
5. Wear outrageous clothes. You could wear a super bright suit, a costume outfit, a weird tie or a bathing suit.
6. Make a weird facial expression. You could stick your tongue out, pretend you’re in agony, make your eyes big, look like you’re angry, etc.
7. Wear a hat. You could wear a cowboy hat, a bowl on your head, straw hat, a sports helmet, a rain hat, etc. (a copywriter friend of mine wore a cowboy hat and now it’s part of her branding image)
8. Paint your face. You could paint your own ideal character or paint a typical character like a clown, animal, plant, etc.
9. Wear a mask. You could buy one or make one out of a paper bag. Just cut the nose, mouth and eyes out. You could also add other facial features.
10. Use a uncommon background. You could use an outside background, a funny wallpaper, a prop to look like you have a cartoon body, etc.
Now it’s your turn. What else can you do to your website to be more likeable?

Do you know what they could be?
I board my horses at a top-notch equestrian centre, and I’ve checked, and this is only happening to my daughter’s pony’s stall.
So here’s what’s going down!
I help the coach now and then to muck-out, and when I came to our pony’s stall, I noticed little black beetles… a giant SWARM of them along one wall and in little groups on the floor near the wall. The wall is the one facing the feed room, so that may be why.
Has anyone else had beetle problems in the stall? His stall is straw and its mucked out daily with bedding replaced when necessary. The floor is wooden. His stall is always very clean… is it only because the feed-room is behind that one wall? Are they just trying to get to the feed?
Any experience or opinions, leave an answer.
10 points best answer.
There have been a few times where that has happened to me. And I have to say yes, it was because of the feed.
You say the floor is wood? Well I would check the flooring because they seem to chew through wood. The beetles in our stalls chewed through the flooring and under to the other side where the feed was. But they shouldn’t be harmless to your horse, mine have never been bitten before. At least I don’t think so. I inspect them just in case. But we called Pest Control to get rid of them for safety reasons.
However, I would clear them out just in case. You never know if they could poisonous. With horses, you don’t wanna take a risk.
Hope this helps

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
